A funny thing happened to me this morning, I woke up fat and old. Now you might be of the opinion that age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you are a cheese or bottle of whiskey and to a certain extent that might be true. But right now, in this instant, it hurts. It really hurts. Mainly because my sisters have been sending really mean text messages about how old I am today.

I guess turn about is fair play. I tease them incessantly on their birthdays. My favorite is when I keep saying the same thing over and over but each time I raise my voice a little louder until I am screaming. That’s a classic and even though they curse at me by the time the joke is over, I know they are laughing. Of course that laughing could be dementia and senility on their part or mine.

Speaking of jokes, have you heard the one about the little old man that sat on this porch when an elderly lady walked up and asked, “I couldn’t help notice how happy you looked. What is your secret for such a long happy life?”

The little old man replied, “Well I drink 1500 ounces of Dr. Pepper a day, I never exercise and I eat most of my meals at Burger King or McDonalds.”
Shocked, the little old woman replied, “That’s amazing! How old are you?”

“26”

Umm, I forgot where I was going with this……

Oh yeah. That could be described as me. I’m probably half a happy meal away from an early exit. Gotta change that and change that soon.

Another thing I gotta changes is being more diligent in writing on this blog. Hopefully you haven’t noticed that the last meaningful post was back in October of last year! Holy Cow! And by the way, I work for the church and in no certain terms it was made very clear to me that there is no such thing as a holy cow. Anyways, the last meaningful post was quite some time ago. What happened during Thanksgiving, our Christmas trip to Arizona, or all the renovations we have done on the house? Well, all I can say is that I have nothing. Hopefully good records were kept in Heaven so that we an all look back and reminisce. A lot has happened and lots of time has passed and I don’t really remember all that occurred. And the things I do remember I don’t feel like writing down. Remember I am a crotchety old man now. Suffice it to say, life is good. We are healthy and looking forward to this year. Here’s to a happy and fun 2009!

Or 2010, depending on if you remember what year it is!

(Now where did I place that 44oz Dr. Pepper?)
